I’ve been working on a UE project that interacts with RESTful APIs for game data and stats. Postman works, but it feels heavy and git integration is clunky.
I’m seeking something lighter to handle quick GET/POST calls, basic auth, and maybe even some simple request/response testing—preferably CLI or minimal GUI with OpenAPI support.
Has anyone in the UE developer community found good alternatives that help streamline API debugging in a game-dev context? Would love your suggestions!
I like postman and, generally speaking, it is pretty lightweight. I don’t think you can do much better. I do not like the organization of projects and save queries, but I don’t think it’s a deal breaker.
You could always fall back to command line and Python. There are Python modules that make it super easy.
I believe there are a few online ones you might want to try, but my stuff at work is behind a firewall so I can’t use them - and it would be frowned upon by our security and IP people.
